Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has hit back at the Wii U critics that have been lambasting the console since its release. Reggie says that it really comes down to the quality and capability of the reviewer. He went on to say that when he visits Miiverse and sees how consumers are reacting to the titles on offer, he personally hears nothing but praise.
“Reviews of a system or review of a game really come down to the quality and capability of the reviewer. There has been a range of comments and commentary. But when I go on Miiverse and see how consumers are reacting to games like ZombiU or … Call of Duty, that tells me we’re doing something very, very positive. Similarly, when I go on other consumer social networks and see other consumer reaction that is positive, I know we’ve done well.”
Their bodies weren’t ready
My body wasnt ready? ready for CoD freezing with a loud hum noise and having to unplug System or maybe the 4 freezes that occurred when i was trying to re download all my Wii Virtual Console Games. or the internet dropping out in the middle of netflix requiring a system reboot also that really helps on the games when you cant get your save in before the un expected crash. Dont get me wrong the sustem has potential but only after the fix all these bugs that i believe are related to the system connecting to their crappy servers we have to remember this is the 1st full scale always online system for them. Oh and no its ot my internet I have wireless N Dual Band w/ 40Mbps Down and 6Mbps Up!
LOL… you have bad internet!
Just because you’re internet has good speeds, doesn’t mean it can’t have issues. I have good speeds, but I still get the occasional issue, some can be severe too.
Your* but good point..
That’s the point I didn’t want someone trying to say its my Internet its definitely not my Internet causing the issue it’s the operating system of the wii u that has bugs that need being fixed
I have shitty internet.. and you know what? I had Zero issues! Only thing is it took close to 8 hours to complete all the updates.
Yeah its your internet.
I personally haven’t had too many issues, but regardless of the quality of the internet connection, the hardware and OS should handle these issues much more gracefully. Hopefully with the latest patch that Nintendo has issued, these issues will be resolved.
bad luck bryan?
lol u have bad internet, when my internet runs bad it hits 120mbps and thats when its bad.
only 40MB/i? I got 100
you didn´t properly played on a WiiU yet, did you ?
i have my black wii u with the 11 games i own for it and as far as internet speed goes congratulations on your download speeds of 100 luckily enough i know i dont need to waste money on 100 since no game system can full utilize that much since the systems all throttle it back anyways!
The title of this entry make me imagine to Reggie smashing a Gamepad in the head of someone like Michael Pachter.
First EAT IT ALL OF YOU BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ffs…..

Well, this was a disappointment.
LMAO. Go get em Reggie!
I keep thinking how funny and satisfying it would be to smash the gamepad over someones head LOL.
I think it is safe to say…
…that their bodies wasn’t ready!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Reggie is queen!
Don’t worry about that, Reggie. You need to keep people talking about Wii U. You guys need to get real serious with marketing! When I introduced the Wii U to my neighbors, they thought it was only the controller. When I showed them the actual console they asked: “Is that your internet modem?”. Never been angrier in my entire life. >:(
It’s better than when I showed pictures of Wii U and GamePad to my mom (pictures that I took of my own console since she’s out of the country) and she said it looks like PS3 and PSP. I was so disappointed in my own mother.
yea well.. it kinda does…
I just wish it was easier to ask for help within Miiverse. I posted something within Nintendo Land’s community, and seems like it’s buried within a minute and I don’t know if people actually take the time to scroll through a number of the posts.
I surely don’t. >.<
I don’t go through every page and post, but I try to read like 20 or so posts to respond/yeah, that is when I’m checking Miiverse.
There should be tabs that tell you when you have replies on the Miiverse NavBar – Also, when you press the home button, your Miiverse icon will be animated if you have any activity.
I’ve seen replies, it’s the fact that it gets buried so quickly and other people don’t see it.
Do you really think your comments are that important that other people would WANT to see them?
I didn’t say they were important, but if the idea that is advertised if you are stuck and post to miiverse for help, then I’d think someone might look to help. But if noone is looking, then noone gets helped. I’ve scrolled through and with the huge amount of posts, it’s hard to go through everything, which is the point that I made.
Well no need to be a dick, dude.
Your home button on the GamePad will flash when you have a reply, specifically linked to your post.
I guess it’s hard to tell, since it also flashes when a friend signs online. It also flashes if someone is trying to wii u chat with you.
There are 3 different colors like 3DS
I’ve only seen blue, which one is that?
I agree, they should make it so when you post there are different categories like, general messages, pictures, support, and friends only..
There will always be groups of people who like something and groups of people who do not. We can’t make everyone happy. C’est la vie.
But i wish both groups try it first.
Yup. Unfortunately, that will never happen.
You ended your post with a phrase used at the death of teddy bears in bad fur day.
Do you get me?
He has a point. Reviewers say one thing but the people who have bought the games are happy with them and the console itself.
But at the same time, there are a lot of reviewers who like the Wii U. It’s just that negative articles are the main ones that get hits and raise a commotion.
Gotta love how things work like that eh?
Fuck those things!
He didn’t hit back. More like he went on nintendos Facebook and saw all the fanboys praising it.
Can’t use miiverse as a source because his party in the debate control moderation.
It’s like if all the trolls and hate posts got deleted here and then they wrote an article “my Nintendo news viewers 100% satisfied with wii u”
Um dude but when you have people reviewing things like ZombiU for instance a person who isnt even a fan of the god damn genre giving an 8/10 game a 4.5/10 then you got real fracking issues.
It’s like those retards at Joystiq. When the 3DS came out, they had one guy reviewing/previewing all the software – and guess what: HE COULDN’T SEE 3D! He has a defect in his vision that prevents himself from seeing the 3D effects! So one of the 3DS’s prime features, he couldn’t write about… it was a fucking joke!
I stopped visiting Joystiq for this reason, and because they “try” and be funny with the constant stream of puns, but they just come across as douche bags.
Loks like you need help reading. It’s ok. Illiteracy is widespread.
Dumb, it’s not as if they would delete critical posts. I’ve seen a few but the majority are happy with the console despite its numerous flaws. Me included.
Im enjoying my Wii U so much, no matter what haters say, that will never affect the way i enjoy my games.
I wrote this xD but my phone does what it wants
OHHOHO. What an evil phone.
I know xD
Im enjoying my Wii U so much, no matter what haters say, that will never affect the way i enjoy my games.
I think accusing the “Quality of the reviewer” is a bit ridiculous. If my opinion doesn’t agree with yours my opinion isn’t “quality?” Na, that’s dumb.
^this, and people tent to believe that.
“Reviews of a system or review of a game really come down to the quality and capability of the reviewer”
That´s plain true. There´s a lot of editors out there, from both magazines and websites, that don´t understand a s**t about videogame production, don´t understand how the device works, rush their reviews based solely on their personal tastes (not personal knowledge) and do terrible reviews.
F**k the critics! The peeps in the Miiverse prove these so-called critics wrong big time. The Regginator terminates the negative critics like there’s no tomorrow. Now that I’m a Wii U owner, I’m gonna get Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge and Call of Duty: Black Ops II next on my list.
Exactly 3 weeks till I become a Wii U owner! :D
My Body is Reggie.
oh well good luck man, you won’t be disappointed.
ZombiU is a definite example of bad reviewing.
From what i’ve seen, the cricket bat mechanic can get tedious (although reviewers dont mention theres other melee weapons hidden in the game), but otherwise, everything is good, and its just people forget its SURVIVAL HORROR. Not Shit 4 Dead, or COD zombies.
How much time it takes to beat ZombiU (hours)?
I don’t know, i haven’t personally played it, i’ve just seen good reviews and lets plays.
I saw a video, and they finished it in 6 hours, thats why i dont know if i should buy it, i dont wanna use $999 pesos for a game of 6 hours
Depends how much of the game they actually found, in terms of secret areas and what not.
Plus the survival mode adds more replay value.
Too many games are short these days anyway, but as long as its interesting all the way through, 6 hours wouldnt bother me that much.
The first person who beat it took 3 days, the game is really freaking hard.
it can’t THAT hard…..can it?
yes, it is a challenge. Specially if you really want to beat the main challenge, where you have only one life.
$999 pesos?
Is it dollars or Pesos Dude?
Cause 10 pesos or so equal a dollar, meaning 999 pesos is about 100 or so dollars, but $999 is about 10,000 pesos. So which is it?
ZombiU is fucking awesome. BUT It’s slightly unpolished and buggy. Sometimes when a person (friendly character model) during a cutscene talks, I can’t hear them :S .
I love the game though, it’s really really really refreshing from the same oold sit every month.
I would reccomend this game to anyone. As long as you can deal with a few minor hickups here and there. 8/10/
also how the fuck can you review a system after 2 weeks, you cant. xbox has got more and more adverts on it in the last couple of years.getting really pissed off with that, hopefully Nintendo go forward and not backwards like M$
What do you think a review is? First impressions I believe. I never listen to them anyway, I only use them to get a good idea what the product actually is x3
Microsoft? More like Moneyhard since they expect you to pay for XBox Live Membership Gold just to use online chat and several others apps. They are as bad as Cashcom. DX
What I find interesting is that we as people can’t form our own oppinions. We are relying on others to make up our mind. I have owned every nintendo console and I never knew nintendo to be hardcore as far as blood and guts. Nintendo has always left it to others to be that those games don’t define the company. But I have known them to be family friendly family oriented.
In life we all have images to uphold and if you think they will change there’s. Stance anytime soon that is crazy. Why should they. The one thing I love is that nintendo breeds future gamers. Look at this way. I work two jobs and play maybe 8 hours worth of games. When I get home I’m more prone to surf the web while catching up on my old tv shows I missed ( fringe). Now I’m totally loving my amazon app. Oh yeah smartest feature on my wii u auto shut off I haven fallen asleep on my couch 3 times. And awoken to see that the system timed out.
Ever heard of Eternal Darkness?
Had it owned beat it. Also was pissed with everyone else there was no part two.
then you are either too young or have forgotten the days. nintendo was family friendly AND hardcore back then with Gameboy, NES and SNES. Its only been the Wii that brought that extreme family/casual-centric perspective on Nintendo…
Haters gon’ hate.
pretty much
I just wish they could comment on the loading times… I’m getting really tired of them. And to make matter worse, my internett sucks, so it takes like a year to connect to Miiverse ^^
I “borrow” my neighbors wifi, its kind of poor signal, and kind of slow internet, even with that it loads miiverse fast
Thief. Get a job and buy your own damn wifi you mooch. If you can afford to spend money on game consoles and games you can afford your own Internet.
Just give us Super Mario Ultimate :)
I am expecting statox for wiiU.Let’s hope retro studios will do their best.I am expecting a perfect detail on Fox’s graphical detail
i like it millions do also just hate critics they don’t know nothing but only to complain about things
Three words can be describe for those bads reviews, my dear Reggie:
Haters gotta hate.
(comment made on a Wii U)
Nintendo is very positive and we love it, so we they can say whatever they want.
If you suck at ZombiU, you probably hate it even though it’s an awesome game.
They were not advertising the Wii U enough. No one knows about it.
My body is certainly ready for Animal Crossing, Luigi’s Mansion, 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console, Zelda U 3D, Wii Fit U, and Yoshi Land U! :D
Glad he said what he said about reviewers. He is correct. This is why Miiverse is brilliant. Through its growing community, it will start to make the reviews of biased journalists obsolete. Now is the Wii U without flaws? No! But nevertheless, those flaws are being corrected. Anyhow, I’m enjoying my Wii U!
Really looking forward to buying one!!
go get em reginator
There will always be critics. A person just has to believe for the best and keep moving forward. Leave the negative problems behind.
in other words, the Wii U is something you yourself have to try to determine if you like it.
That applies to just about everything.
i agree. if the people who buy the wii u dont complain about it in miiverse then it does mean theyre doing good. if they wernt, then theyd see it in miiverse with everything agreeing.
No matter how great something is, there’s always gonna be a few people here and there who complains. It’s a fact of life. You can’t please everybody.
Speaking of Miiverse, is it just me or is anyone else surprised that you can type PlayStation and Xbox on Miiverse and not have your comment deleted by a moderator?
Why would they delete your comment just for mentioning Xbox or Playstation?
I am more surprised that you are surprised that they aren’t deleting comments for mentioning their competitor.
He dosnt know is more trouble than help my massages promoting the wii u on xbox had no problems
I guess I was just expecting it for whatever reason, I really don’t know why.
I love the Wii U. Only complaint is the damn thing freezes 3 times a day. I’m down loading the new patch right now. Hopefully that takes care of the problem. New problem though, it says its gonna take 4 hours to complete. WTF!?
Never has a problem with mine. Clearly the Aus Wii U’s are superior.
Too bad nothing else Aus is.
Lmao. You keep believing that :)
Reblogged this on Gigable – Tech Blog.
The only reviews that matter are the consumer reviews, and so far they’ve been positive. After getting past the initial problems of being an early adopter, things seem to be running smoothly. I can’t wait to experience it myself. Leave luck to heaven.

He has a point. ZombieU got terrible review scores, but the people playing the game on Miiverse are enjoying it. You can tell if a person has played a game on Miiverse with a check box on their comments.
Zombi U received awful reviews for not being a bullet fest like other zombi entries. That insta-defined it as “clunky combat”, how ridiculous. Personally, I’ve checked what people say, and I haven’t seen any complaint. They say it plays awesomely and a good tribute to older zombie games where you didn’t receive much ammo, like the good ol’ Resident Evil.
“I know Wii U is good because people on Wii U’s network are not badmouthing it!”
Terrific logic there buddy. I bet if you go to a crack den, you’ll hear TONS of fanfare about crack as well!
I bet you haven’t visited Miiverse at all, huh Icy Icy Baby?
